2018 Sojourn Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.6% alc., pH 3.67, TA 0.59, 1,025 cases, $69. Released spring 2020. Vineyard has extremely rocky and divigorating soil. Clones 115, faux 828 and 667 fermented separately and then blended. 10% whole cluster ferment. Aged in 50% new French oak barrels. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Reserved aromas of blue and black berries, grass and old wood. Midweight in style and creamy in texture, with an array of ripe dark fruits underlain with a smoky note. Disappointing for Gap’s Crown Vineyard bottling as a bit shallow on the mid palate and a very modest finish that displays some alcoholic warmth. Score: 89. Reviewed June 13, 2021
